Been using this lockdown to continue my writings for kids and kidults. Here is my first offering
Mr Duck Bill Platypus
Used to drive an omnibus,
A big red shiny triple decker,
Mr Duck Bill was a lucky fella.
He’d drive the bus around the town
All right and left and up and down
Driving the bus was oh such fun,
He’d drive the bus for everyone
He’d drive his bus for the short and the tall
The long and the lanky
The big and the small
He’d drive it for the young and the old,
For the hairy and the bald.
He’d drive through wind and rain and shine
Through snow and hail
And from time to time if the bus got stuck,
Out would pop old Mr Duck
And give it a push, and a heave and jolt,
And kick it to start again with a bolt.
Ah, Mr Duck Bill Platypus
He who drove an omnibus,
A big red shiny triple decker,
Mr Duck Bill was a lucky fella.
